She knew that she was late, but she didn't care. She silently took a seat at the table where Grissom was handing out assignments. She averted her eyes from everyone, and she tried to focus on what he was saying, but she couldn't.
He was worried about what was going on with her. It wasn't like her to be late, but ever since that day a little over three months ago; he hadn't seen her do many typical things. In fact, he expected her to quit every day, or at least to transfer to a different shift.
He finished giving out the assignments, when she looked up at him, her eyes ablaze. Their eyes locked. Everyone else noticed it, and although they were all about to go off to their scenes, they were all curious.
"Sara?…" Grissom began, but she stopped him.
There was a deep, passionate anger in her eyes; she looked about ready to ignite. "I'm pregnant," she said sharply. Everyone was gaping, shocked.
"You're the father," she continued. Her words were becoming increasingly sharp, vitriolic, and angry. She was livid.
"Do we need to discuss this in front of everyone?" Grissom pleaded, clearly uncomfortable."
"Yes, it's their business too! Supposedly they are our friends! For as little as that means to you! What, did you think that I wouldn't tell anyone about what happened! We both got drunk, and you had sex with me. Then the next day, you just want to be friends. While I find out later that it's only because you're already screwing Sophia! Well guess what, even one night stands have consequences. You threw away our friendship, but this I'll have, and I'll keep this child as a reminder to you of what we could have had!"
He didn't know what to say, there was nothing he could even think of to calm her. Her beautiful brown eyes were flashing; she looked like she could kill. His thought was that it would be a case of justifiable homicide.
Cooler heads worked faster though, and Catherine grabbed Sara's hand and said, "Come on, you're working with me." She shot Grissom an ununderstanding look, and Sara tore her eyes away from him.
She started to follow Catherine, so she released her hand. They brushed past the others who all stood in the doorway. Sara's eyes caught Sophia's, and Sophia took off.
Their teams for the shift were that Sophia went solo, then it was Grissom and Warrick, Cath and Sara, and Greg and Nick, although both Nick and Greg wanted to be with Sara.
